Setting Up the Universal Remote Control

‐ If you want to control a set-top-box, you need to have your zip code and your cable provider's name and

manufacturer's name and model number.

Remote Setup.

Select the type of device you want to control - set-top-box, Blu-ray player, or home theater.
6.
Follow the directions on the screen to complete the set up and register the device. The directions will be
different, depending on the device you want to control.
7.
Once set up is complete and you have confirmed that you can use the TV remote to control the device,
disconnect the IR extender cable from the TV and set it aside. You can now control the device directly with
your remote.
